    Inside bar area

    This is a small scale distillery, but with that small scale comes attention to detail, a great service, and an amazing product. We were so pleased with our tasting and ended up purchasing a bottle of their single barrel. We followed it up with well-made cocktails from the bar. The owner was there and sat at the table to chat with us and even stayed late after closing. To top it off, this distillery is a Harvest Host member so they let us camp in their parking lot!! All in all a wonderful experience.

    The food was excellent.. tour and sampling were great. Small distillery with a great story and staff.

    Small distillery with a great story, food, and staff. The tour is intimate with a great tasting after. Highly recommend

    On our way from Louisville, KY to Nashville, TN; we had to stop at Dueling Grounds Distillery. Almost perfect reviews and score on Yelp? And the best Kentucky Margarita made with clear Bourbon? Challenge!! Well, the reviews are correct. This place is great! We didn't do a tour, but we tried some of their signature drinks. The Kentucky Margarita was delicious, just as described. The Maple Old Fashioned and Apple Pie Old Fashioned were tasty as well. The place was quiet as we stopped at noon on a Wednesday. Inside is clean and large enough to sit about 30 people. The bartender was friendly, and he made some good drinks. I definitely would recommend this gem just off Highway 65.

    First time here and it was a home run! The best Kentucky margarita and old fashion we've ever had. And their flat bread pizza was delicious. Great service and hospitality overall. Truly a gem and well Definitely come back.

    Fun tour that teaches you all you need to know about bourbon. This is a small craft distillery that prides itself in a precision product. The tour is normally $ 15 but I bought a groupon special for $ 6.40. You get a tasting flight (4 choices) at the end of the tour. The cask bourbon is aged 4 years and is pricy for me. I settled for some blueberry liquer that was quite tasty. This distillery is on the bourbon tour and is about 1 hour north of Nashville.

    I love me a small town small batch distillery. Robbie, our host was fabulous explaining the bourbons and other craft spirits. We did the tasting of four flavors including the two aged bourbons , the clear bourbon and the Apple pie. The 120 proof is as smooth as it gets for a high proof. We also had the margarita cocktail made with the clear. So much better and smooth than with tequila. I had the Maple Old Fashioned. I could of had 4-5-6-7 drinks. They are also part of the Harvest Host RV club and the Craft Bourbon Tour. Got our first stamp on our Kentucky Bourbon Trail Passport.

    We loved it all! Seriously the kindest staff (only 5 employees!) run this distillery and tap room. We had a Friday off and couldn't get tickets to Dickel so we headed north and we are so glad we did! We had an amazing time in this craft distillery chatting with the brand manager and front of house staff running the tour and tap room. They offer a great tasting menu, pizzas and cocktails as well as local beers and wine if that's not your thing. My fiancé and I both bought bottles to bring home and he's still talking about that Irish coffee he had as I loved the Madhattan I opted for as well. We'll be sipping on our bourbons and relishing the impromptu memories made from this adventure for years!

    Oldest barrel on site...8 years old.

    We took a tour of the distillery and enjoyed a tasting afterwards. The tour was educational and historical. Absolutely so much fun. Very kid friendly (teens in our group enjoyed the tour and ibc root beer afterwards). Lots of fun cocktails to try and tasty bourbon. We visited on Friday afternoon so we also enjoyed the homemade pizzas (recommend the hot honey pizza and the William white). I'm not much of a bourbon drinker so the cocktails were my speed. I loved the Kentucky margarita and the gin and juice. We were staying in the mammoth cave area so the drive took about an hour. Well worth it!

    Sunny Sour (specialty cocktail)

    Great pizza (William White - wow!). Delicious bourbons (did a distillery flight and the limited edition tasting). Amazing cocktails (maple old fashioned, prohibition old fashioned and sunny sour)... all awesome! And the people. From Mark, the owner, to the bartenders - fantastic people willing to connect with travelers. Super cool place to check out right off I-65.

    "Hot Shot" Pizza with Hot Honey.  w/o Pineapple.

    So I'm a local that stopped by after many years just to check it out and have an Old Fashioned. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They urged me to come back on Friday for Pizza which I did. Best Pizza in Franklin!!!!! Thin cracker style crust with nice crisp edges. My kids and I absolutely love it! We normally get the "Hot Shot" but we also like the "Sam Houston." Do yourself a favor and give it a try.
